RULA Analysis of Work-Related Disorders Of Foundry Industry Worker Using Digital Human Modeling (DHM)

Ergonomic troubles are major issues faced by the metalwork manufacture. The ergonomics principles play very life-sustaining role in operators' productivity. The two factors such as workstation layout and work design are important for operators' or workers' efficiency. Work-Related Musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD) is the common health problems of the industrial workers. This health problem can lead to long term effect on the output performance. The objective of this work is to study the postures of industrial worker in foundry industry using the RULA assessment using CATIA V5R19 software. The working postures were modelled in the CATIA V5 R19 software and then RULA assessment was conducted. From the RULA analysis, several awkward postures were detected with high in risk ingredients. This paper presents an ergonomic evaluation of workstation in a one foundry industry at sangali in Maharashtra state. The Various key postures of the workers were evaluated . Also study includes suggestions for the improvement. Tools like Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) and digital human manikin (DHM) were used in this study.
